RAPALA CRANK BAITS
RAPALA CRANKBAITS AND NGC's NEW CRANK N' SPIN MINNOW WILL CATCH
A LOT OF BASS
By Ken Liebeskind
Yalesville, Connecticut
Rapala crankbaits made from balsa wood are reminiscent of the first lure Lauri Rapala carved in the 1930s that launched the lure industry. Today, the DT series of rapala crankbaits are made from balsa and feature internal weights, a taped fuselage and a thin tail. The solid body, flat sided DT rapala crankbaits feature a corner lip with three flat edges. The DT rapala crankbaits look exactly like baitfish with metallic painted scales.

DT stands for Dives To and the rapala crankbaits are designed to dive to specific depths with the standard model fishing to 12 feet and deeper diving models available. The thin lip dives the rapala crankbaits into the water and places the lure within the strike zone depth. The lure moves from side to side and an internal rattle creates a rhythmic sound inside the balsa wood lure. The DT rapala crankbaits are designed to hit the strike zone and stay there.
If you're looking for an alternative to a standard crankbait, we suggest you try the Crank n' Spin Minnow from www.scientificfishing.com, which combines crankbait and spinnerbait features into one fast action lure. The lure is a 4.5" fat bellied shad with a sharp blade in the back, like a spinnerbait with metal balls inside that rattle on retrieval like a crankbait."
"I've fished with lots of crankbaits and spinnerbaits and the Crank n' Spin Minnow offers the best of both worlds," one angler said. "It's great for bass fishing and shines real good in the murky water."
The Crank n' Spin Minnow is available in three flashy colors - baby bass, fire tiger and yellow perch that work in a variety of water conditions.
